A long time ago we bought Red Sox tickets. We felt lucky to have gotten in to the infamous “online waiting room” and to have been able to purchase tickets at face value. Little did we know that this game would fall during a week that was slightly crazed for us, what with the Celtics doing so well in the Playoffs and our Greg Laswell‘s tour coming through town the same week. I don’t know if it’s lucky or not that nothing fell on the same night. It might have been better had we been forced to make a decision and pare down the event list for the week.
Needless to say, we walked over to Fenway Saturday night and enjoyed a low key baseball game on a windy, but nice and temperate, evening. Red Sox won (1-0). Our tickets were SRO – we were worried that might be a bit a much after standing all night at the Celtics game the night before, but it worked out just fine. We really don’t mind SRO at Fenway. It’s enjoyable.
